☆ With flurry of FAA approvals, many more drones are about to fly over U.S. skies
  + stars: | 2023-09-20 | by ( Natalie Rose Goldberg | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
This week, drone delivery company Zipline was granted Federal Aviation Administration approval to fly drones beyond the visual line of sight. That's a major milestone in efforts to extend the range of the domestic drone industry over U.S. airspace, and Zipline isn't the only drone operator to recently receive FAA approval. It's a regulatory aim that the drone companies have been working towards for a decade and will pave the way for other companies to receive streamlined approval for their own drone flights beyond the visual line of sight. Prior to "beyond the visual line of sight" approval, human observers were required to be stationed along the entire route a drone was flying to ensure that there was no interference with air traffic. Now he says Zipline will be able to serve "hundreds of millions of people" in the U.S."It unlocks the scale of the technology so that everybody can benefit.

WASHINGTON, Sept 6 (Reuters) - U.S. regulators are allowing two more companies, UPS Flight Forward and uAvionix, to operate drones beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS), the Federal Aviation Administration said on Wednesday. UPS Flight Forward with its Matternet M2 can conduct small-package delivery using a ground-based surveillance system from Raytheon, while uAvionix can use the Vantis Network to test its detect and avoid technology, the FAA said. UPS plans to conduct flights in North Carolina, Florida, Ohio and potentially other states from its Remote Operations Center (ROC) in Kentucky, the FAA said. The agency on Aug. 24 authorized Phoenix Air Unmanned to operate SwissDrones SVO 50 V2 drones beyond visual line of sight. The FAA is working to develop rules to make drone operations out of the line of sight "routine, scalable and economically viable."
